Comments on Books

Schaeffer taught me there is no question larger than God: while there are many questions that can challenge my interpretations, there are none that can unhinge my faith.

CS Lewis taught me that real answers to large questions begin with belief in a rational God.

Schaeffer and Lewis are almost exclusively responsible for my inability to accept the premise of relative truth while at the same time not allowing me to get comfortable (lazy) with absolute truth. To explore this with more recent work (1994) see God in the Wasteland by Wells - surprisingly he mentions neither Schaeffer nor Lewis in his bibliography.
